Man Rules

Because true style includes proper etiquette

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:121:]]Pay FirstAlways pick up the tab on the first date, subtly if possible. If there's a second date, follow her cues: Be willing to split the bill or let her pay if she asks to.

Door JamOld-school rules dictate that you hold the door for her. But an evolved man enters a revolving door first. Remember: We do the pushing.

Street TipAllow her to walk on the inside of the sidewalk. You take the side closest to the curb. The idea: You'll protect her from a sudden swerve of a car or a nasty mud splash.

Good CallAssuming it was good for you, pick up your phone the day after the date. That's how a gentleman follows up—not a text, email, or tweet. It's the right call.

And while we're at it, don't check your phone during dinner—even if you're getting the latest style tips from @MensHealthStyle.
